"Dong dong dong," Qingchen knocked on Yangyang's door: "Have you sobered up? You can already see the Bombay port on the ship. We are ready to pack our things and get off the ship."
With a creak, the door opened. Yangyang had just finished taking a shower, put on a pair of sportswear, and was wiping her hair.
Yangyang asked with a smile: "What kind of hairstyle do you want me to wear today? You can choose a dignified bun, a neat braid, a youthful and cute double ponytail... I can do it all! If I wear my hair in a bun, I can
Wear black flat glasses to match your preference!"
"You haven't stopped this early in the morning... you should still braid your hair. You never know when there will be a fight," Qingchen said.
"Fighting? Are you worried that being too high-profile last night will lead to your whereabouts being leaked?" Yangyang asked: "Next time, don't indulge me like this."
"You don't have to worry about this. I have already made arrangements for this trip around the world, and the choices I make are the most correct choices," Qingchen said.
"Okay," Yangyang blow-dried her hair with peace of mind. She felt that the biggest difference between herself and Qin Yiyi was that no matter what Qingchen became, Qin Yiyi could accept it.
And she herself knew Qingchen very well. She understood the details of Qingchen's behavior, way of thinking, and life preferences, and integrated them into Qingchen's life.
She knew that Qingchen was willing to go crazy with her last night, so he was definitely fully prepared.
Yangyang blew her hair and said with a smile: "Did you know that the members of Spades return to the fire pit almost every year?"
Qingchen's heart skipped a beat.
Yangyang continued: "After I traveled back in time, I met Qin Yiyi in the fire pond. She is now the goddess of the fire pond and has a very high status. The elder is very precious to her. By the way, I also chatted with her for several days.
Woolen cloth."
Qingchen hesitated for a few seconds: "What did you talk about?"
"Hehehe," Yangyang said with a smile, "Even if we are not together, don't mention other girls in front of me."
Qingchen suddenly felt bad: "It was obviously you who brought it up first, why are you backing it down?"
The strange and strange Yangyang is indeed a bit overwhelming.
At this time, Yangyang finished combing her braids, then picked up the revolver that had nothing to do with fate, pointed it at her temple without hesitation, and pulled the trigger.
The machine clicked, and a quiet gunshot sounded.
Yangyang shuddered all over: "This thing is too weird, isn't it? Is it my unlucky thing or something? The first shot is a freezing deceleration bullet? Qingchen, I'm cold."
Qingchen saw that Yangyang's movements had slowed down, and she felt stiff even when walking normally, and her expression was no longer as lively as before.
He wondered: "Is the revolver so powerful? Wouldn't it mean that if you shoot the enemy at a critical moment, the opponent will immediately lose the ability to move?"
"It's too strenuous to walk like this, and other people will think I'm weird when they see me. Qingchen, just carry me," Yangyang said, jumping on Qingchen's back: "That's how you carried me yesterday. I just washed
My hair is done, does it smell good?"
Qingchen's body stiffened for a while, and the scent of shampoo lingered under his nose.
At this time, the voices of other tourists came from outside: "Look, someone is setting off fireworks! How are these fireworks made? They can be so bright during the day."
Yangyang: "..."
Qingchen: "...come down by yourself."
"Okay," Yangyang jumped down quickly and continued to pack her luggage.
Qingchen said sadly: "It's obviously a firework bomb, why did you lie to me that it was a cryo bomb? Can we be more sincere?"
"Hehehe," Yangyanghun didn't care: "Let's go, I've packed it up!"
The Shining Pearl cruise ship docked in Mumbai, India. Qingchen and Yangyang, carrying huge mountaineering bags, disembarked together with thousands of mountaineers on the ship.
Qingchen's mountaineering bag is extra large, and it even contains his skis.
They will depart from Mumbai and arrive in New Delhi, India, and join tens of thousands of tourists departing from New Delhi and flying to Nepal.
Qingchen asked with a smile: "Now there are two options to choose from. One is to take the Maharaja Express prepared by Luo Wanya to go to New Delhi for a total of 7 days and 6 nights. The other is to take the green train and hang out with the three buddies.
We can go to New Delhi on the train in one day, which one do you choose?”
"One is 7 days, the other is 1 day. According to your original plan, how long does it take to arrive in New Delhi," Yangyang said: "You don't need to consider my feelings when it comes to business matters. It's important to do business. I'm your protector. Everything is fine."
Put your priorities first!”
Qingchen smiled and said: "No matter which one I choose, I have a backup plan."
In my impression, trains in India are dilapidated and overcrowded.
But the Maharaja Express in India has a different number. It is a special tourist line from Mumbai to New Delhi. It has 23 carriages, all with top-notch decoration and services. There are 84 passengers in the train, and the daily room fee is 2,500 US dollars.
.
Finally, we headed towards our destination in seven days and six nights.
During this period, the train will stop at various tourist attractions for more than ten hours so that tourists on board can enjoy the tourist attractions.
It's like a walking row of five-star hotels.
There are similar trains in China, such as the K3 train from Beijing to Moscow. Tickets cost 6,000 yuan and are hard to find.
For example, on the New Oriental Express in northern Xinjiang, some tickets even cost as much as 50,000 yuan.
This is the journey Luo Wanya prepared for Qingchen, intending for his boss to relax before climbing Mount Everest.
However, Yangyang smiled and said: "Since you are here, just do as the Romans do, and let's get on the train too!"
"Okay," Qingchen responded with a smile.
During this trip, he seemed to have forgotten what he was here for, and insisted on playing with Yangyang until he had fun.
When the two people were hanging on the train, the breeze was blowing in their faces, and the two people were shouting excitedly, just like two madmen.
The third brother, whose roof was densely packed, pointed at the two of them, as if he was looking at two country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
Later, while the three friends were going up and down on the roof of the train, the two of them actually grabbed the seat at the front of the train.
They sat side by side at the front of the train, and the green train slowly headed north at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
"It would be nice if time stopped at this moment," Yangyang said softly.
Qingchen did not respond.
Yangyang suddenly asked in the car: "Boss Zheng, Boss He is still on Whale Island. Apart from me, do you have any other backup this time?"
Qingchen smiled in the wind and said, "Yes."
…
…
All the decorations in the Maharaja Express are full of luxury.
The floor is covered with a brown-red carpet, and elegant oil paintings are hung on the walls.
In Car 17, the seats that originally belonged to Qingchen and Yangyang seemed to be empty.
When the train started moving, there were 13 carriages and 19 carriages. Suddenly, four people came out together and approached the 17th carriage from both sides.
The four Asian men looked cold and had quietly picked up silenced firearms in their hands.
They pretended to be passing by normally, but when they arrived at the door of carriage 17, they suddenly fired a burst of fire inside, breaking the carriage door into a sieve!
It wasn't until the gunfire stopped that someone opened the door to confirm whether the target was dead.
However, it was empty inside, with no figures of Qingchen and Yangyang.
The four people looked at each other. They searched for the booking information based on the passport information. Logically speaking, Qingchen and Yangyang should be in the private room!
One of them picked up the phone and dialed, and said in Korean: "Boss, there is no one in the box. We need new information to track the target."
Someone on the other side of the phone said: "Understood, evacuate at the next stop and choose the fastest way to New Delhi to wait."
"Copy that," the killer responded.
He hung up the phone, winked at the remaining three companions, and quickly walked in the other direction.
However, the moment they passed the 16th box, the box door opened, and there seemed to be a force majeure pulling them in the room, causing them to fall into the box without any resistance!
It was like a black hole inside, sucking in all the killers and erasing all traces of their existence.
The door to the box in section 16 was closed again, and it was quiet as if nothing had happened.
…
…
New Delhi Gandhi International Airport.
A Chinese man was looking at his watch. Beside him, there were 6 Chinese people carrying hiking bags.
The clothes these people wear are all expensive outdoor brands such as 'Archaeopteryx', 'Mountain Rat' and 'Kyle Stone'. They all look majestic and either rich or noble.
Of course, the cost of climbing Mount Everest is not small, and even poor people cannot climb it.
First of all, equipment. Speaking of clothing, you need to prepare a jacket for an altitude of 5,000 meters, a professional down jacket for climbing to an altitude of 8,000 meters, and a cold resistance of -40 degrees Celsius, and alpine boots.
Each item is worth a lot of money, and all of them add up to a base price of 80,000 yuan.
Secondly, Nepal now has requirements for those who climb Mount Everest. They must at least comply with the '5678' principle: they must have climbed 5,000 meters, 6,000 meters, and 7,000 meters above sea level snow-capped mountains and obtained certificates before they can climb to 8,000 meters above sea level.
Of course, if you want to circumvent this standard, you will need to pay a higher fee and ask the tour guide to help you find connections. Qingchen and Yangyang paid an additional 350,000 yuan per person to qualify for the group.
Otherwise, they would not be able to climb Mount Everest.
Just to reach this passing mark, the purchase of equipment, travel expenses, and tour guide fees will cost about 220,000 yuan.
Thirdly, if you want to obtain an official mountaineering permit from Nepal, the price is US$11,000 in spring, US$5,500 in autumn, and US$2,750 in other seasons.
Finally, joining a reliable adventure company will basically charge you 350,000 yuan per person, including the cost of a Sherpa guide.
The various expenses added up are definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
Therefore, the people who can appear here are all prominent figures in various parts of the country, and are willing to spend at least one million yuan to climb a mountain.
Of course, there are also tour groups that only visit the 5,400-meter Mount Everest Base Camp for a few days. This type of tour is relatively cheaper, costing around 150,000 RMB.
Qingchen originally wanted to find a separate tour guide, so that even if there was any danger, ordinary people would not be affected like the time when the crew went north to shoot the scene.
But he later discovered something and changed his strategy.
Outside Gandhi International Airport.
"Xiao Zhang, I heard that the two young people who haven't arrived yet have never even climbed to an altitude of 5,000 meters before?" A middle-aged man asked the tour guide: "You really dare to accept any money?
Ah, aren’t you afraid that they might have any problems on Mount Everest?”
The young man named Xiao Zhang looked embarrassed: "Mr. Liu, they gave too much... Each person received an additional 350,000 yuan. In fact, if you change to a more amateur team, you don't need to give so much. But you also
You know, I am currently the most professional in South Slope summit climbing in China, so they probably want to find the most reliable person."
"Huh?" The middle-aged man known as Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment: "How old are they?"
"I heard that the couple are both 17 years old," the tour guide Xiao Zhang explained: "They must be in good physical condition, and they have also guaranteed that if they fail to train at an altitude of 5,400 meters, they will not go up any further.
.”
"How can I get so much money at the age of 17? I haven't even worked yet, so how can I get more than one million yuan?" Mr. Liu's wife was a little curious: "Are you the rich second generation of some family?"
Xiao Zhang shook his head: "I don't know, their identities are kept confidential."
Mr. Liu's wife said: "You are so lavish at such a young age."
However, Mr. Liu suddenly said angrily: "I think they are much better than your son. They spent more than one million to climb Mount Everest, but your son spent more than ten million to buy a sports car and show off in school every day."
.Isn’t he better than your son?”
Mr. Liu's wife's expression immediately changed: "My son is not your son? Why don't you let him spend it if you have so much money? You should let him be a scumbag when he is in school. Wait until he sees more girls and graduates."
I won’t be deceived by other people’s tricks in the future.”
Mr. Liu turned his head and said nothing, as if he was too lazy to argue.
Of the couple, Mr. Liu wanted to reach the summit, while his wife only accompanied Mr. Liu to the 5,400-meter base camp, where she waited for Mr. Liu to come down.
There are four other people in the team, three men and one woman, who don’t know each other and come from all over the country.
When everyone was introducing themselves to each other, someone next to them smiled and said: "Sorry, I got stuck. I didn't expect you to arrive early. You should have waited for us for a while. Sorry, sorry."
Everyone turned around and saw Yangyang and Qingchen carrying huge mountaineering bags. Both of them covered their faces with windproof towels, so they couldn't see clearly.
Mr. Liu is a mountaineering enthusiast, and the jackets worn by Qingchen and Yangyang basically cost over 10,000 yuan. Compared with the extra money they paid, this price is nothing.
But Mr. Liu was a little curious, why did these two young people wrap themselves up so tightly?
Xiao Zhang on the side looked at Qingchen: "You...what do you have in this mountaineering bag? This is the mountaineering bag with the largest capacity, but it is used below an altitude of 3,000 meters. There is no lack of oxygen there, so you can carry a heavy load."
It doesn’t matter at all, but we are going to Mount Everest, and it will take 8 days just to hike to the base camp. The altitude will keep rising, and you will not be able to bear it.”
Ordinary people will start to suffer from hypoxia when they reach an altitude of 4,000 meters, and jumping around can cause high reflexes.
Qingchen, who had never been to an altitude of 5,000 meters, was carrying such a huge mountaineering bag, and was immediately defined as an amateur in the eyes of everyone.
I don’t blame everyone for their wrong judgment, Qingchen himself would have felt a bit outrageous.
But the problem is, he can't show his skis. When the tour guide asks, how should he explain it?
Just say that you want to go skiing at an altitude of 8848 meters?
Then it's better to be treated as an outsider by everyone.
Mr. Liu looked at Qingchen and Yangyang and said: "It's good for two young people to have ambitions. It's better than being a waste at home, at least better than that kid from my family. But when it comes to climbing Mount Everest, you really have to do it according to your ability.
Because, I have been preparing for the day of reaching the summit for two years, climbing to an altitude of 6,000 meters more than ten times. You inexperienced mountaineers, really don’t be brave."
Mr. Liu's wife rolled her eyes.
A young companion next to him also advised: "In a hypoxic environment, the brain will stagnate. It is too dangerous for you to do this. What do you have here?"
Qingchen said: "Canned goods, small stoves, freeze-dried vegetables, etc. I heard that the food was very bad when I lived there for a month and I couldn't transport anything, so I brought some by myself..."
"You are not here to enjoy life," Mr. Liu shook his head helplessly: "Young people must be able to endure hardship. How can you bring so many things with you when you climb Mount Everest..."
Qingchen explained with a smile: "I think I should be able to carry it. Don't worry, I'm in very good physical condition... If I really can't carry it, I'll lose something. Also, if I really can't go up, we'll
Everest Base Camp is waiting for you to come back, and we will not show off."
Yangyang also smiled and helped: "Yes, he has very good physical strength."
Qingchen: "..."
He always felt that Yangyang was driving again, but he had no evidence.
Tour guide Xiao Zhang sighed. He only hoped that these two wealthy second-generation people would be able to retreat on their own when they arrived at the Everest base camp, and never force themselves to climb to the top...
He looked at everyone: "Okay, let's check in now and go through the security check. Everyone must pay attention to recharge your batteries. When you arrive in Garmadon, there will be a long test waiting for you. According to the plan, we
We will perform glacier training at an altitude of 5,400 meters for 7 days, and then conduct adaptive training at an altitude of 7,200 meters at point C3. After 5 days, we will return to base camp to prepare for the final sprint. We are expected to complete the climb on May 2
Go up and get down before the black storm arrives! Let’s go!”
The plane takes off and lands.
After a short rest in Garmanddu, the group set off immediately and expected to reach the Everest Base Camp in 8 days of hiking.
First day of hiking.
Tour guide Xiao Zhang paid attention to Qingchen's physical fitness on the road. As a result, Qingchen kept saying that he was in good physical condition, but he became tired on the first day.
During the march, he always hung at the back of the team and walked slowly.
This is not a sign of good physical fitness at all!
The further you go, the altitude will get higher and higher, and the load on your body will become heavier and heavier!
He advised: "Really don't insist anymore. If you get mountain pulmonary edema in this high altitude area, no matter how much money you have, it may not be able to save your life."
Faced with the advice, Qingchen just responded slowly: "It's okay, I can still persist."
Tour guide Xiao Zhang: “…”
On the second day, Qingchen found it even more difficult to walk, and even began to show signs of staggering.
Yangyang took out some things from his bag and put them in his hiking bag.
Qingchen asked in a low voice: "Am I pretending to be the same?"
"Like, I won't watch the next Oscars without you."
